Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. noun, plural: sticky ends. (molecular biology) A fragment of DNA (often produced by a staggered cut on the DNA using restriction enzymes) in which the terminal portion has a stretch of unpaired nucleotides, and the strands are not of the same length.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sticky ends, a.k.a. cohesive ends, have unpaired DNA nucleotides on either 5’-or 3’-strand, which are known as overhangs. These overhangs are most often generated by a staggered cut of restriction enzymes.
